Presolar grains are tiny solid minerals that crystallized in the gas of ancient stars. These crystals are the oldest material ever handled by humans. Some, from the Murchison meteorite, belonged to a group of massive stars that perished hundreds of millions of years before the birth of our Sun.

The rocky walls of volcanoes are studded with crystals, formed underground in hot magma. By studying how long the crystals take to form, volcanologists are calibrating so-called "crystal clocks" that reveal how long magmas can linger below ground before erupting.
